We have 20% unemployment, a bad economy, and a third of the country on food stamps.

We live in paradise!

Our country is rotting. Sure, there have always been problems of various sorts, but it is straight up rotting in so many ways now, foremost
economically, but also the infrastructure, socially, education-wise. Its the product of many decades of bad decisions.

Ole Harry Reid, just another for personal profit corrupt politician doing what his masters instruct.

For nearly a decade Judicial Watch has investigated and exposed Reid’s involvement in a multitude of transgressions and JW even warned the Senate
Ethics Committee, but not surprisingly, no action was ever taken. On multiple occasions the Senate minority leader appeared on JW’s “Ten Most
Wanted Corrupt Politicians” list for his role in a number of political scandals that got more serious as his seniority and clout in Congress
increased.

As far back as 2006 Reid was in hot water for violating Senate rules by concealing a seven-figure payoff on a suspicious land deal orchestrated by a
longtime friend known for political bribery and mob ties. The influential senator secretly collected a $1.1 million profit on land he hadn’t
personally owned for years. To hide the deal, Reid transferred ownership, legal liability and tax consequences to a company owned by a former casino
lawyer who has been investigated by federal authorities. Months earlier Red got busted for accepting gifts from a state agency trying to influence
him. In that scheme the lawmaker quietly took very expensive ringside boxing tickets from the Nevada Athletic Commission while that state agency was
trying to influence him on the sport’s federal regulation.

In 2012 Reid made JW’s corrupt politician list because he was embroiled in an influence-peddling scandal involving a Chinese “green energy”
client of a Nevada law firm run by his son Rory. The senator was one of the Nevada projects most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company
during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on its behalf, according to a mainstream news report. Reid’s son was an attorney at
the prominent Las Vegas firm that represented the Chinese Company, ENN Energy Group, and helped it locate a 9,000-acre desert site for well below its
appraised value from Clark County.

In 2013 Reid was again named to JW’s most corrupt politician list for taking more than $130,000 in illegal campaign funds from a shady donor, Harvey
Whittemore, who eventually went to jail. Whittemore hired four of the senator’s sons at a law firm in which he served as senior partner and worked
with Reid on huge land deals that required federal legislation. Additionally, Reid sponsored at least $47 million in earmarks that directly benefitted
organizations with close ties to one of his sons, Key Reid. The legislator also colluded with President Obama to nix a proposed nuclear waste dump in
Yucca Mountain Nevada after U.S. taxpayers spent $15 billion on the project.

More recently Reid abused his authority to pressure the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to expedite a $115 million foreign investor visa deal
critical to his son’s casino client. Reid got the DHS to override agency procedures to rush through hundreds of visa applications from foreign
nationals who helped fund a Las Vegas hotel and casino that hired Rory Reid to provide legal representation for the project,

Dont blame Reid. Lets put the blame where it belongs . The voters in Nevada. They keep voting this piece of "work" in.Ask anyone in Nevada what he has
done for the State , ever. Crickets chirping. What ids the clinical definition of insanity again ?

""Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid is fond of sparring with Republican presidential candidates, but the ex-boxer started an all-out street fight
with Donald Trump this week -- and it only escalated today, after the GOP nominee responded by mocking the injury that left Reid blind in one
eye.

"Trump can make fun of the injury that took sight in my eye -- I've dealt with tougher opponents. With my good eye, I see Trump is a con-artist," Reid
tweeted on Friday morning.
The political brawl started on Tuesday when Reid poked fun at Trump's weight.
While accusing the press of magnifying Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis and downplaying Trump's health issues, Reid said during a press
conference, “He complains about her health? What does he do? He’s 70 years old. He’s not slim and trim.”"

Is Harry Reid really blind in one eye? I remember that he "pulled a Hillary" by fainting head first onto a garbage can a few years ago. But I didn't
know it left him partially blind. Must of been some unique garbage in fell in to!
